After hours of searching, I give up and will ask for directions. runing wine 1.1.27 on Ubuntu 9.04 on a T-23 Thinkpad using the onboard sound card and a Plantronics DSP-500 headset. After days of searching I finally got both to work, but limitation in Ubuntu will not allow both to work at the "same time". One or the other. Plantronics only works in a mixed mode ALSA and OSS unfortunetly, but it works!! Applications under wine have no sound at all with either sound device but will play and work with linux native applications. My wine configuration for Audio is set for alsa. The "test" button does not work but Ubuntu give a "key press" "clunk" sound via the Ubuntu active sound device. The "control panel" button only give a error popup box with "Launching audio contorl panel not implemented yet!". searches on google, Ubuntu, and this site give no exact matches not relivent results (after much reading). No clues. So lacking input from the sources it appears to me that something is missing with respect to wine. Any help would be appreciated to fill in the gaps. I'm not a command line guru but can launch the terminal and do sudo.

Confused Totally. The sticky instructs to "remove" pulseaudio. Should I first get it running and then remove it?

Your problem is most likely because ubuntu installs pulseaudio which is incompatible with wine. Remove pulseaudio from your ubuntu install.
disabled pulseaudio (not removed) and rebooted. I still have no sound in wine. there is no audio control panel for wine yet. wine conf shows both sound devices under alsa. still same conditions. Where is the audio control panel supposed to be for wine config audio ? is there something that didn't get installed with wine?
> there is no audio control panel for wine yet.That is because it is not implemented. Ignore that button in winecfg. John

Pulseaudio takes a bit of disabling. Make sure that /etc/pulse/client.conf has autospawn uncommented and set to no (without the uncomment, it defaults to yes) apt-get install alsa-oss Then run winecfg set audio to OSS only. (You'll really be getting alsa-oss emulation, I think.) Wine does not control sound volume. That's set by alsa. You have to adjust settings using alsamixer. So you have to be using the default sound card. (Note --I use an add-on card, so I have to set the default sound card the only way I know how, which is using asoundconf. But asoundconf is not offered in the latest alsa-utils, so I have to regress to Jaunty's version.) That should work. If it doesn't, check to see that pulseaudio is really disabled. Upon reboot, mine sneaks back in and I have to shut it off using System Monitor. HTH -- I'm no expert.
